i see joelen's still pimping herself out. anyone else not really a nestie anymore still come around? i pop over every so often but, like usual, this is pretty much still a very slow moving board, eh? like the chicago babies board, too. weird considering the local knot board was always moving.
anyway, when's the damn weather gonna start to cool off?! bring it already!
Re: well hi
Hello!
This board is generally slow, yes. It's too bad, because I'm sure there are a ton of us around. Some of the women have started a book club, and I think there's a Chicago(land) GTG for brunch coming up. I think everybody is invited, not just the book club people.
I'm MKESweetie, I work in real estate, I have an H who is getting his PhD right now.We live in the West Loop, married for a year, no kids.
I am also pretty desperate for the fall weather I know is coming. I hate to chase away summer because I hate Chicago winters SO much, but weeks and weeks of 90 degrees are starting to wear on me.
It was 68 this morning at 5:30! Is that good?
I believe this week is supposed to cool off. We'll see. I could do with constant 70s, but NOT looking forward to the winter.
I'm surprised this board is pretty slow as well. I'm also on the nest on facebook and we have a group of Chicagoland ladies who GTG about every month or so.
I'm originally from the city but have been subjected to suburbia living for the last 3 years after my husband & I bought a house out here in the land of strip malls. I get the join of sitting in gridlock everyday on the Ike though to come to my craptastic job (which I will be getting relieved of shortly) to work in the west loop.
This board is slow! I feel like I see a lot of Chicago nesties on other boards too.
I am new, living in the Bucktown area with my husband who is a corporate lawyer. I am a behavior therapist...trying to adjust to working part time!
TTC since Feb 2012
Diagnosed with PCOS and anovulation
2 round clomid 1 round femara--no response
1st round injectables/IUI 1/31---BFP!
Ugh. What an awful drive!
I work in the West Loop too.
Lol! Hi Christina
Yep, it's still pretty slow and I don't check/post on this local Nest board too often... there are a slew of Chicago nesties/foodies on the What's Cooking board though. In fact, I'm hosting the 2nd National What's Cooking Board GTG at the end of October, so in less than 2 months. There are a handful of gals flying/driving in from out of state to attend and I'll post more details here as we get closer.
BTW, Sabrina is so adorable! Crazy how fast the little ones grow up!
Yes there is, I am organizing it. Everyone is welcome. See my "Save the Date" post on the board. Just message me (select 'Contact' below my post) to provide your email and name if you are interested in attending. I need to keep track of how many are coming since it requires a reservation.
